This Oracle tutorial explains how to use the Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function with syntax and examples. The Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function pads the left-side of a string with a specific set of characters (when string1 is not null). The syntax for the LPAD function in Oracle/PLSQL is:
The Ides of March is a phrase derived from the Latin idus, a term marking the 15th day of March, July and October as well as the 13th day of other months in the Roman calendar year, and the Latin martii, âMarch,â which is derived from the Latin Mars, the Roman god of war.
Ides of March has a better ring to it. And yet all it means is halfway through the month.. Ides comes from an old Latin verb iduare, which meant to divide. It was the Roman term for the day that came in the middle of each month. Every month has an Ides. March had 31 days, so the Ides of March is on March 15.
